Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 278 Tiger Crazy Xu Chu! (Thanks to the Promised Neverland, 9792 monthly votes for support~)

Upon hearing that Jia Xu had another plan, Zhu Jun immediately showed a questioning expression.

However, Huangfu Song on the side asked curiously:

"If you have any plan, please tell me as soon as possible."

Jia Xu bowed and replied:

"This plan is extremely vicious. I hope the two generals will listen to me first."

As Zhu Jun and the other two looked increasingly suspicious, Jia Xu continued:

“In this battle, both sides lost nearly 40,000 soldiers!

"The enemy will certainly bury the bodies on the spot near the Wo River.

"It is early spring now, and the weather is gradually warming up. The corpses in the ground will rot faster, which will definitely breed epidemics..."

Hearing this, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song vaguely realized something and their brows frowned slightly at the same time.

However, they did not interrupt rashly, but listened to Jia Xu continue:
“If our army imitates the corpse-throwing tactic used by Cao Mengde when he attacked Jiangxia.

"Send people to dig up a large number of bodies buried near the Wo River and throw them into Yanling County in the dark. This will surely cause a plague of considerable size!

"The enemy must be very relaxed after winning a battle.

“Plus, the enemy army is unaware of our plan, and the great doctor Zhang Zhongjing is definitely not in Yanling City.

“Once the plague breaks out in the city, the enemy’s rear will surely send people to support us.

"We can ambush the enemy in the southwest of Yanling City and drive back the enemy troops coming to support us!

“If we’re lucky, we can not only take over Yanling City.

“There’s even a chance that the plague could spread to larger counties like Xu County or even Yangdi County.

“When the time comes, we will be able to use the terrifying power of the epidemic to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!

"The enemy's losses have increased, and our losses have been reduced in disguise."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song already felt a chill down their spines!
Dig up corpses and throw them into the enemy's city to cause a plague? !
Is this really a strategy that a normal human being can come up with?
It’s too vicious!

Zhu Jun refused without even thinking:
"No, no! This plan may win, but it will kill countless civilians in the city!
“And once the plague gets out of control, it could also cause a devastating blow to our army!

"This plan must not be implemented."

Huangfu Song also agreed with Zhu Jun's idea:
"Even if we win by this method, we will immediately lose the support of the people!
"The reason why Cao Mengde repeatedly defeated Liu Bei was that he lost the support of the people!"

Seeing that the two of them disagreed with his evil plan, Jia Xu could only sigh and say:

"In this case, when I return to see the emperor, I will have nothing to say."

Seeing Jia Xu's bad expression, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song suddenly felt helpless.

After all, they are the main generals.

The defeat in this battle was not because Jia Xu’s strategy was bad, but because the enemy’s response was too good.

When they go back, they will definitely be blamed.

And Jia Xu, the chief strategist, will definitely not be affected too much.

After all, even without his two generals, there are still other generals.

However, Jia Xu is a top strategist who is very smart, and there are very few of them. The emperor will definitely not be reluctant to punish him...

Seeing Jia Xu closing his eyes to rest again, Zhu Jun could only ask in a soft voice:

"Sir, do you have any other plan besides this one?"

Jia Xu opened one eye and glanced at Zhu Jun:
"It's not that there is no way, but this method is not as effective as the previous one."

Zhu Jun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He quickly stood up, clasped his fists, and respectfully asked:
"It doesn't matter if it takes a long time to take effect, as long as there is a way!"

Seeing Zhu Jun's sincere request for advice, Jia Xu then opened his other eye:
"There is another way... Liu Bei's army has a new brave general named Xu Chu!

“This man once roamed around Runan, but was discovered by Zhuge Liang in advance.

"Later, he left a great reputation when he suppressed the rebellions of bandits in the territories of Chen and Liang!
"General, you can send someone to Chen State in Yuzhou to ask Xu Chu who is stationed there for support.

"Liu Bei's army has promised our army to attack Lu Bu, but has yet to take action.

"Could it be that you have ulterior motives and want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?

"Let us invite them in the name of His Majesty to attack Yingchuan together!

"I believe they will have no reason to refuse." After listening to Jia Xu's method, Zhu Jun finally smiled:
"This method is feasible! I will write a letter and send it to the State of Chen.

"If they dare to refuse, it shows that they have ulterior motives!"

After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to the State of Chen.

Jia Xu did not want to waste his evil plan, so he said to Zhu Jun:

“We can use the evil plan just now only to deal with Yanling City.

"If we can capture Yanling County, our army will have a place to transfer food and grass, and it will be much easier to attack the rest of Yingchuan."

Seeing Jia Xu mention the evil plot again, Zhu Jun was a little shaken, but still shook his head:

"No... The people are the foundation of the country, and I cannot bear to hurt them.

“Although His Majesty is now more shrewd and capable than before.

“But at times like this, we must stabilize the people’s hearts and minds in order to maintain the dignity of the court in their minds.

“If we intentionally harm the people, it will only push them against us.

"It makes Lü Bu's army appear very noble, while our army becomes very vicious."

Seeing Zhu Jun say this, Jia Xu could only settle for the next best thing:

“In that case, then don’t throw the bodies into the city.

"If we lead the enemy troops to camp outside the city and place the bodies in the enemy camp, wouldn't that prevent innocent people from being harmed?"

"This……"

While Zhu Jun was still hesitating, Huangfu Song suddenly stood up and said:

“I think this method can be used as a backup strategy.

“If it is necessary, we will do this. If it is not necessary, we will not throw the body.

"Then you don't have to worry too much."

Seeing Huangfu Song also said so, Zhu Jun finally nodded in agreement:

“In that case, I’ll leave this matter to you, Yizhen.

"Remember to let your brothers ensure their own safety!"

Huangfu Song clasped his fists and immediately led his men to the lower reaches of the Wo River under the cover of night to find the place where Lu Bu's army buried the bodies.

Hundreds of rotten and smelly corpses were dug out and sealed in coffins.

Afterwards, they quietly took the bodies back to the outskirts of Xinzheng City and stored them together.

……

Yuzhou, Chen State, Chen County.

In the martial arts arena.

A fierce general who was more than eight feet tall, with a waist that was ten times bigger than his waist and a resolute appearance, was fighting with a dozen of his men with bare hands.

No matter how his men attacked, they could not get close to him, which shows how strong his martial arts skills are!
At this time, a civil servant with luxurious clothes and gentle temperament came running hurriedly.

Holding a letter in his hand, he shouted to the fierce generals in the martial arts arena:
"General Xu, General Xu! General Zhu Jun, the general of the cavalry, sent a letter!"

The person called "General Xu" is none other than the famous general of Cao Wei in history - Xu Chu, the Tiger Crazy!
It was only because of the changes in the historical line that he was supposed to join Cao Cao in 196.

But in 195, he was recruited by Zhuge Liang to serve Liu Bei!
He was appointed as the governor of Chen State and led an army of 30,000 to garrison Chen State.

Upon hearing the name "Zhu Jun", Xu Chu immediately ordered his men to leave.

Then he looked at Mi Zhu, the wealthy man from Xuzhou, who was jogging towards him.

Mi Zhu came in front of Xu Chu and panted slightly:

"As expected by Zhuge, Zhu Jun sent people to ask for help from our army.

"In the letter, he also questioned why our army was not taking any action..."

Xu Chu took the letter, glanced at it indifferently, then rolled it into a ball with one hand and threw it on the ground:

"A bunch of rubbish, with an army of nearly 40,000, but they only consumed more than 10,000 soldiers of Lu Bu's army!

"It will take me, Tiger Chi, to personally take over Yingchuan County!"
